It is very sad that a legend in Nutrition has passed away. He has been an inspiration to many of us and a beacon  of light furthering the cause of nutrition all over the world specially among the developing countries. I owe it to him for providing me the opportunity to purse my research on food composition. May his soul rest in peace.

Longvah

Dear all,
 
It is with extreme sadness that we have heard that Nevin Scrimshaw passed away Friday night, just a few days after his 95th birthday.
 
He was a legend in public health nutrition and in food composition. He was one of the founders of INFOODS and through INF he assisted many of us. He was inspiring to talk to, a visionary, a great mentor and always with a smile ...
